Neuroptera, Raphidioptera and Mecoptera of the Podyjí National Park (Czech Republic). – Čas. Slez. Muz. Opava (A), 59: 103-112, 2010A b s t r a c t: A total of 48 species of Neuroptera, 6 species of Raphidioptera and 6 species of Mecoptera are recorded from Podyjí National park in southern Moravia. The material was obtained mainly during dipterological research in the years 2001 – 2004 by means of Malaise traps and also by individual collecting by the author. Three species, Coniopteryx drammonti Rousset, 1964, Dichochrysa abdominalis (Brauer, 1856) and Chrysoperla mediterranea (Hölzel, 1972), are for the first time recorded from the Czech Republic.

Introduction
In the recent checklist by Jedli
č
ka et al. (2004), 85 species of Neuroptera were reported
from the Czech Republic, of which 78 are from Moravia (including Czech Silesia). A total of
10 species of Raphidioptera and 10 species of Mecoptera are currently known from the Czech
Republic (Zelený 1977, Chládek 1985, Šev
č
ík 1997, 1999).
Species composition of these insect orders in the territory of Podyjí NP has not yet
been systematically studied and only several records of conspicuous species were published
(e.g. Ka
č
írek 1995, 1999, Zelený 1971). During the years 2001 – 2004, an intensive research
aimed at the order Diptera was carried out there by prof. Miroslav Barták (Czech Agricultural
University, Prague) using various collecting methods (Barták & Kubík 2005). The residual
material from Malaise traps contained also many specimens of Neuroptera, Raphidioptera and
Mecoptera, and that material was the main basis for this paper.
Study area and methods
Podyjí National Park (63 km2) is situated in southern Moravia along the Dyje River valley on the Czech-Austrian state border, between the towns Vranov nad Dyjí and Znojmo. The park comprises a wide range of habitats, mainly steppe grasslands, thermophilous oak forests and also submontane beech forests (for details see e.g. Chytrý et al. 1999, Chytrý & Vicherek 1995, Grulich & Chytrý 1993).
Material for this paper was collected mainly during dipterological research in the years 2001 – 2004 by means of Malaise traps (M. Barták & Š. Kubík leg.) and by sweep netting by the author in 2004 – 2005. Several specimens collected by other entomologists are also included. Descriptions and photographs of localities where Malaise traps were operated are given in Barták & Kubík (2005). All the specimens (unless otherwise indicated) are deposited in the collection of J. Ševčík (Ostrava).
The identification of the Chrysoperla carnea complex was made according to the morphological characters described by Thierry et al. (1992) and using the key by Thierry et al. (1998).

determination show considerable variation (Šev
č
ík et al. 2008). The systematics of the genus
Boreus Latreille, 1816 has not yet been clarified and all European forms may belong to only
one species (cf. Šev
č
ík & Hude
č
ek 1994, Šev
č
ík et al. 2008). Boreids are usually associated
with mosses but they may be found also on snow (Fig. 4) due to their autumn and winter
activity.

Conclusions
A total of 48 species of Neuroptera belonging to 7 families, 6 species of Raphidioptera and 6
species of Mecoptera have been recorded in the Podyjí National Park up to the present. Podyjí NP thus
belongs to the most species-rich areas in the Czech Republic with regard to the fauna of neuropteroid
insects and Mecoptera. Both steppe and sylvicolous species are well represented. Three species are
reported here as new for the Czech Republic and have not yet been recorded from any other Czech
locality. One species (D. pantherinus) is treated as critically endangered according to the recent Czech
Red list (Zelený 2005), four species (D. tetragrammicus, H. elegans, S. terminalis, V. nigricollis) as
endangered and three species (E. nostras, M. styriaca, O. fulvicephalus) as vulnerable.
Two additional species were recorded from Znojmo (without any details) by Zelený (1971),
Chrysopa pallens (Rambur, 1838) and Ch. commata Kis & Újhelyi, 1965, but as there is no recent and
well localized material I have not included them into the fauna of Podyjí NP until a new material is
collected. Several other species have not yet been recorded but may occur in the park. For example, at
Fig. 1: Mantispa styriaca (Poda, 1761). Fig. 2: Coniopteryx pygmaea Enderlein, 1906. Fig. 3: Euroleon nostras (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785). Fig. 4: Boreus westwoodi Hagen, 1866. Photo by J. Ševčík. All photographs taken in Podyjí NP.
Lauterer 1986). At least two species of Wesmaelius Kruger, 1922 (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) and
Nineta flava (Scopoli, 1763) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) certainly occur in the area as they are
widespread in central Europe. Also Inocellia crassicornis (Schummel, 1832) (Raphidioptera:
Inoceliidae) should be recorded there as its larvae develop under the bark of pines (Pinus spp.) and
larch (Larix decidua), see Šev
č
ík (1995). On the other hand, the occurrence of Libelloides macaronius
(Scopoli, 1763) is less probable although the steppe areas in the eastern part of the park may represent
suitable habitat for this species.

Neuroptera, Raphidioptera a Mecoptera Národního parku Podyjí (Česká republika)
Celkem 48 druhů řádu Neuroptera, 6 druhů Raphidioptera a 6 druhů Mecoptera je zaznamenáno z Národního parku Podyjí na jižní Moravě. Materiál byl získán zejména během dipterologického výzkumu v letech 2001 – 2004 pomocí Malaiseho pastí a také individuálním sběrem autora. Tři druhy, Coniopteryx drammonti Rousset, 1964, Dichochrysa abdominalis (Brauer, 1856) a Chrysoperla mediterranea (Hölzel, 1972), jsou poprvé publikovány z České republiky.
